Apple just introduced the iPhone XR, a new iPhone that starts at $749 and has a 6.1-inch screen — giving it more screen real estate than the iPhone 8 Plus, which has a 5.5-inch screen.
The phone will be available to order on October 19 and will start shipping on October 26.
The new device is one of three new iPhones Apple introduced Wednesday at its annual event in Cupertino, California. It also unveiled the iPhone XS and the iPhone XS Max, along with the Apple Watch Series 4.
At that $749 price tag, the iPhone XR is cheaper than either of the other two iPhone models, which start at $999 and $1,099.
What separates the iPhone XR from the other devices is its LCD display, which has a lower resolution than the iPhone XS and XS Max, resulting in a lower price point. It also has a single-lens camera and is made with aluminum.
The iPhone XR will also come in six colors (black, white, red, yellow, coral, and blue) and three storage sizes (64 GB, 128 GB, and 256 GB).
